The employer tax credit incentives can help businesses create jobs, improve their bottom line, boost local economies and help new employees obtain and retain jobs.

Employer Tax Credit

Work Opportunity Tax Credit

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a
federal income tax credit that provides an incentive for private for profit
employers to hire individuals of certain target groups, which have
traditionally faced significant barriers to employment. These credits
reduce an employer's cost of doing business and require little paperwork.
Employers can save up to $2,400 per new hire. For the Long-Term Family
Assistance recipients, the employer can save up to $9,000 per new hire, over
a two year time period.

Wisconsin's Economic Development Tax Credits programs provide tax incentives to new or
expanding businesses whose projects will affect distressed areas throughout
the State. For more information contact the

Employee Tax Credits

There are several employee tax credit incentives that

The Earned Income, Homestead and Child Tax Credits can help low income workers increase their income substantially by
reducing their income tax liability and, at times, providing a refund
greater than the taxes owed. Not only do these credits reduce their tax
burden and supplement their wages, but they motivate individuals to pursue employment, promotes self-sufficiency while meeting the labor needs of employers.
